Farm to Market Road 1576 (FM 1576) is a 24-mile Farm to Market Road entirely in Hudspeth County in the U.S. state of Texas maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Route description

FM 1576 runs from US 62 / US 180 northward before ending at Otero Co. Rd. G005 at the Texas / New Mexico state line.[1][2][3]

History

The FM 1576 designation was originally assigned in 1949 to a short road near Brownsville in Cameron County from SH 4 to FM 1419. This mileage was transferred to SH 4 in 1956.

In 1957, part of FM 2249 and FM 2318, to the east of Dell City, were canceled and combined to form FM 1576. FM 1576 was renumbered from FM 2318 because there was already a route in Bosque County with that number.[4] In 1960, FM 1576 had the mileage from FM 2636 added to it, and it was extended southward approximately 14.1 miles to US 62 / US 180. FM 2636 went north 4 miles from US 62/180 before this change. In 1973, it was extended to the northeast to its current northern terminus.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Hudspeth County.
